Review # 1 was written on 2010-02-10 00:00:00 Lance Lafleur CD suggested for an overall medical view of disabilities found in classroom. Looks kind of technical, but want for my library at some point.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-12-05 00:00:00 Gggfg Ffgfdffdctgc Positives: Shapiro introduces a variety of interventions as well as additional resources to learn more specific interventions for academic areas. Case studies at the end helped bring the content full circle. Information presented is beneficial for teachers and psychologists, more so in the elementary level. Negatives: Organization - many times I felt I was reading the same material over again. My professor mentioned his desire for the book to be organized by the RTI process, and I agree. That may make for a more useful read. Repetition of material Appropriate gains were made with the interventions. It would have been beneficial to have one case where he discussed where the interventions didn't work as well as expected; therefore, resulting in further testing. Seeing how the "failed" interventions affected the assessment process in terms of choosing tests and making hypothesis would have been a critical piece for further understanding RTI as a whole.
